Wild Abundance

History

Wild Abundance was formed to help folks learn skills for Earth-based self-sufficiency and interdependence to re-empower people with confidence and competence, bringing them together around authentic ways to live. We are laying down roots here! Over the years, Wild Abundance has successfully taught hundreds of students in a hands-on learning style that has fostered a whole network of people who walk away knowing how to design and build a carpentry project, forage wild food and medicine, design and build their own tiny house, reconnect with the wild, bring a sense of connectedness to their daily lives in the city, suburbs, and country, among many other things. We continue to grow as a school, but also our student network continues to grow as a community.
